The film "Twelve Years as a Slave" has a grand theme and values. However, director Steve McQueen made a big deal and played down the historical, sinful, and cultural background. Using a period of "magnificent" history, a film with the color of horror was filmed. At the same time, "Twelve Years as a Slave" is a very well filmed good movie. Although the film is lacking in social background and cultural meaning, the control and grasp of the "Sisyphus complex" of the "individual person" in the film is still very accurate in its portrayal of historical torrents and morality. This is a manifestation of the director's high degree of control over the subject matter and film genre. ()
Chevat Egarford played the protagonist of the film Solomon. Under his performance, the black slave's survival instinct was incorporated into the blood; his skin color and body gave him enough space for expression. Throughout the movie, Egarford's eyes are determined and strong, full of desire to survive. He moulded the character of the character into nature, and brought the character to the bone marrow. This has also become the key to his success in shaping this character. This is a love of life, and it is the director and actor's "tribute to life". ()
"Twelve Years of Being a Slave" is a common black slave movie at Oscars. In the 2013 Oscar nominees for Best Picture, there are also two works of the same theme, "Lincoln" and "Liberated Jiang Ge". However, the "Twelve Years of Being a Slave" "the theme is safe and correct" is only superficial. Judging from the director's technique, there is still no shortage of alternatives. In order to show the tragic experience of black slaves, the film used many cruel expressions. The film photography is neat and elegant, and the cross-editing is quite distinctive. In addition, the film does not have the happy ending of the traditional theme movie, but uses subtitles to explain that Solomon is still struggling for legal rights after exhausting the rest of his life.
